I'm still slowly working on the Pink & Brown kitchen set. This is a second set of hot pads.
Crumpled Stitch Hot pads
Chain 26.
Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and in each chain
stitch across. (25 sc) Mark this side as the right side. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: Sc in first sc. *dc in next sc, sc in next sc.
Repeat from * across. (25 stitches) Ch 1 and turn.
Row 3: Sc in first sc. *dc in next dc, sc in next sc.
Repeat from * across. Ch 1 and turn.
Rows 4-19: Repeat row 3.
Row 20: Sc in each stitch across. Fasten off.
Repeat pattern 3 more times to make a total of 4 pieces.
Edging:
Row 1: Hold two pieces together, back to back, with
the last row worked at the top. Working through both pieces at once, join with
a sc in the first sc of the top right corner. 2 sc in same stitch – corner
made. *sc in each stitch across to last stitch. (23 stitches) 3 sc in last
stitch – corner made. Sc evenly down side, through both thicknesses, working in
ends of rows and spaces. Put 2 sc in some spaces for a total of 23 sc. 3 sc in
next stitch – corner made. Repeat from * around the remaining sides. Slip
stitch in first sc.
Row 2: Ch 3. 2 dc in second sc of corner. Corner made
sc in next stitch. Dc in next stitch. Alternate these stitches (sc and dc) around all sides
with 3 dc in second sc of each corner to round corners. Slip stitch in first ch
3. Fasten off. Hanging Loop (optional): If you wish, before fastening
off, you can chain 12, then slip stitch in each chain stitch around loop.
Fasten off and weave in the end.
Here are the same pattern directions with pictures:
Sc in second ch from hook and in each chain stitch across. (25 sc)
Sc in first sc. *dc in next sc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * across. (25 stitches) Ch 1 and turn. Sc in first sc. *dc in next dc, sc in next sc. Repeat from * across. Ch 1 and turn. Repeat for pattern.
On the final row, sc in each stitch across. Fasten off.
Hold two pieces together, back to back, with the last row worked at the top. Working through both pieces at once, join with a sc in the first sc of the top right corner. 2 sc in same stitch – corner made. *sc in each stitch across to last stitch. (23 stitches)
3 sc in last stitch – corner made.
Sc evenly down side, through both thicknesses, working in ends of rows and spaces. Put 2 sc in some spaces for a total of 23 sc.
3 sc in next stitch – corner made. Repeat from * around the remaining sides.
Slip stitch in first sc.
Ch 3. 2 dc in second sc of corner. Corner made sc in next stitch. Dc in next stitch. Alternate these stitches (sc and dc) around all sides with 3 dc in second sc of each corner to round corners. Slip stitch in first ch 3. Fasten off.
If you wish, before fastening off, you can chain 12, then attach with a slip stitch on opposite side to create a hanging loop.
Slip stitch in each chain on the hanging loop to make it slightly thicker and stronger.
Fasten off and weave in all the ends.
Oh, when I was first re-learning how to crochet, one of the ladies in the group I joined was doing a baby blanket in this stitch. She couldn't remember what it was called and my skills weren't up to following what she was doing at the time - and then later she couldn't remember it! So I'm glad to see your directions. Maybe now I can figure it out!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help, Melody! This is a very pretty stitch and would make a great baby blanket. It has a very pretty shallow "bubble" effect.
